sufficiently immersed in the solution.
NaOH(s) + aq = NaOH(aq) + 44.5kJ
NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) = NaCl(aq) + H2O + 56.4kJ

Here, Reaction Path 1 includes the heat of dissolution when sodium hydroxide (s) is
dissolved in distilled water, and the heat of neutralization of sodium hydroxide (aq) and
hydrochloric acid (aq).
Reaction Path 2, on the other hand, consists of the heat of neutralization of sodium
hydroxide (s) and hydrochloric acid (aq).
All of this means that the total heat is the same, regardless of whether or not the pathway
includes a process for dissolving the sodium hydroxide (s), as in Reaction Path 1.
